History 32 year-old male who presented with a 4 days history of: Productive cough Right sided pleuritic chest pain Low grade intermittent fever No preceding URTI symptoms, sick contacts or recent travel Hospitalized twice for pneumonia in the past two years Told to have a lung cyst during second admission but declined surgery and biopsy
ROS Intermittent headache, fatigue and decreased appetite Otherwise negative PMH Seizure disorder since childhood Medications Dilantin Allergies NKDA

Rare congenital thoracic malformation - representing 0.15 to 6.4 % of all pulmonary malformations Cystic/solid mass composed of nonfunctioning primitive tissue that does not communicate with the tracheobronchial tree. Blood supply is from systemic circulation Two forms Intrapulmonary & Extrapulmonary
Intrapulmonary Extrapulmonary Prevalence 75-90% 10-25% Own Pleural investment None Yes Location 70% on left side >95% on left side Venous drainage Pulmonary veins Systemic veins Fore gut comm. Very rare More common Associated anomalies Uncommon More common
Developmental abnormality in the primitive foregut and lung buds-accessory lung bud Portion of the developing lung mechanically separated from the rest of the organ by compression from CV structures Traction by aberrant systemic vessels Inadequate pulmonary blood flow. Intrapulmonary sequestration may be acquired
Extrapulmonary Commonly diagnosed incidentally May present early with respiratory distress & chronic cough May manifest as GI symptoms and feeding difficulties
Intrapulmonary Usually diagnosed later in childhood or adolescence Commonly presents as recurrent infection Rarely hemoptysis / hemothorax Overdistension may lead to impairment of cardio respiratory function
Primary lung abscess Recurrent pneumonia due to other causes Congenital lung mass Congenital diaphragmatic hernia Bronchogenic cyst Congenital lobar emphysema Chronic lung infection (TB, Fungal.)
Asymptomatic - controversial Resection advocated because of: Likelihood of recurrent infection Need for larger resection if sequestration becomes chronically infected Possibility of hemorrhage from AV anastomoses Symptomatic disease - surgical resection Excision for EPS lesions Lobectomy for IPS lesions
Recurrent infection Heart failure Massive bleeding Fibrous mesothelioma, carcinoma
Antibiotic coverage was broadened Underwent thoracotomy and right lower lobe lobectomy Smooth post op course and discharge
BPS is a rare malformation Intrapulmonary sequestration accounts for more than 75% of cases Possibility of BPS and other congenital malformations should be kept in mind in patients presenting with recurrent infection Treatment is surgery
